Right. But trying to take moments about a centre of drag that is
changing because of the very thing causing you to take the moments in
the first place is a recipe for madness.

Just take them about the centre of mass!


It matters not what you take the moments from, as long as it is from a
stationary reference on the plane.


That much at least is true.
